What happened after Food Paradise?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' 'Stuffed' episode featured The Squared Circle, a wrestling-themed restaurant and bar in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood built around brick-oven pizza, cheese-stuffed burgers, and duck-fat fries served while pay-per-view matches played on screen throughout the dining room. The Ashland Avenue spot paired a full sports-bar food menu with wrestling memorabilia and programming aimed at fans of the sport, giving it a wrestling-ring motif that set it apart from typical Chicago pizza-and-burger bars. Since the broadcast, Yelp's listing for the Ashland Avenue address, updated 2026-06, marks the restaurant as closed, matching Google Places' current business-status record of permanently closed for the same location. No replacement tenant, reopening announcement, or new listing for the Ashland Avenue address turned up during the 2026-09-08 check.
